Genesis and the Rock of God’s Word

The Salt Lake Tribune prints, under a despatch from Chicago dated October 25, that “at the Temple of Israel last night Dr. Emil G. Hirsch declared his absolute disbelief in the first chapter of Genesis, and bade his congregation discard it as an article of faith.” But that does not affect Genesis 1. It only affects Rabbi Hirsch and those who may believe him instead of the Bible. The Rock of God’s Word has worn out many little hammers before Dr. Hirsch’s day, and it will not break before his puny blows. How truly Jesus said to the rabbi’s prototypes of old: “For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?” John 5: 46, 47.
